Mount Sinai The mountain where God reveals Himself to Moses and gives the law to the Israelites. It is a place of divine encounter and covenant-making. 4. The LORD (Yahweh) The covenant God of Israel, who has delivered them from Egypt and is now establishing His covenant with them. 5. The Covenant The agreement between God and the Israelites, where they agree to follow God's commandments, and He promises to make them His treasured possession. Teaching Points Commitment to ObedienceThe Israelites' response, "We will do everything that the LORD has spoken," reflects a wholehearted commitment to obey God. As believers, we are called to a similar commitment in our walk with Christ. The Role of a Mediator Moses acts as a mediator between God and the people. This foreshadows the ultimate mediation of Jesus Christ, who intercedes on our behalf. Covenant Relationship The Israelites' promise to obey is part of a covenant relationship with God. Our relationship with God through Christ is also covenantal, requiring faithfulness and obedience.

Verse 8. - And all the people answered together. It would seem that the elders submitted to the whole congregation the question propounded by Moses; or at any rate submitted it to a popular meeting, fairly representing the congregation. No doubt the exact purport of the question was made known by the usual means beforehand, and the assembly was summoned to declare, by acclamation, its assent or dissent. The result was a unanimous shout of approval: - "All that the Lord hath spoken we will do" - i.e., "we will obey his voice indeed, and keep his covenant" (see ver. 5). In this way they accepted the covenant beforehand, not knowing what its exact provisions would be, but assured in their hearts that all would be right, just, and good; and anxious to secure the promised blessings (vers. 5, 6) for themselves and their posterity Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord - i.e., Moses was the mouthpiece both ways. He took the messages of God to the people, and carried back ("returned") their answer.Parallel Commentaries ...
